The Jesters Forest

Chase P.O.V

Feeling true, I sprint down the great halls of Barkingburg castle, putting my name to new heights. The fight in my spirit roars as I rapidly close on Sweetie. “You blasted pup! I just want my crown!” She yells as I tackle her to the ground. “You are under arrest Sweetie! Just stop!” I howl as I take a hit to the face from a flying paw. She struggles toward a wall and hits a switch hidden behind a suit of armor. “I’m done with you Chase! I know where I’m going to put you!” She screams as I fall into another trap door. “Da-n it!” I bellow as I hit the bottom of the shute.

        I take a look at my surroundings and my heart plummets. I’m not in a room this time, it’s closer to a box. Panic sets in as I try slamming my body weight against the walls. This is it, she’s got me! Then I let out a growl as I feel the box start to move. “You cozy in there Chase?” I hear Sweetie's gloating voice through the box walls, “cause it’s a long way to where we are going!” I give a laugh and say the first thing that comes to mind, “Did you actually stop and think a plan through for once Sweetie? Or are you just winging it? Only a dense palace pup who’s literally had everything given to her on a silver platter could mess up like you have. One time I can forgive, a second is an offense against my personal law. You know what that means?” I sit with a smile as I wait for her answer.

 “Ok then, let me spell it out. Ryder is just gonna find me again, then I’ll put you behind bars again.Do you think I enjoy playing this game? I don’t want you to be put in bars just because you’re not understood. There’s a good pup in there I know it. I just can’t help but notice, there's more to you than even you know. Anyways...You left me with my pup tag again, why don’t you come and take it from me?” I say and bark open my transmitter. “Hey Chase, You find Sweetie?” I hear her give a sharp breath and the side of the crate opens. I laugh and pounce. I just have enough time to register two things at once, what’s the needle doing there? Why is Sweetie laughing? Before the needle enters my skin and injects its contents into my bloodstream. I faintly hear Ryder’s voice before I start to lose consciousness. I drag open my heavy eyes to look up at Sweetie’s face. “Have a nice trip there handsome.” she whispers before planting a kiss on my head and everything goes blank.
